    I thought he looked very dry.

    I've never watched any pre fight footage of him before this fight, so this could be how he always looks before the scales.

    "You lanky c*nt!" :lol::lol:

    Win or Lose, This has to be Carl's last fight at the weight. The cut is clearly getting tougher with each fight.

    Amazes me how Quigg makes the weight without looking bad, in all honesty. He's not exactly small at the weight either.

    Its one of the more interesting face offs. Will be intrigued to see how he looks come weigh day!
     
  5. Didn't drop a bead of sweat after the open workout. He is bone dry and clearly at his limit. Strange given Quigg is much bigger at the weight and looks absolutely spot on.

    Has the genius Shane screwed it up?

    Agreed

    Theres no way he's on weight already, Thats just more guff from him and his team.

    How will he look tomorrow if he has to lose more weight before the scales ?

    I personally feel Carl looks like he is struggling with weight looks gaunt to me to. He was aggressive at press conference another sign of someone struggling at weight, Scott Harrison used to be like that too a close to fight as was starving. Being bone dry as mentioned at open work out suggests he is struggling too.

    He doesn't look big at the weight either. Can imagine having to boil down anymore when you're at your limit, which he looks like he is!

    Think he'll struggle when he moves up with his height and short reach.

    I think people are looking into this too much, it's a day before the weigh in.
    Travelling to Texas upset his weight cut last time. This time he looks good. Full of energy anyways lol
    Eddie getting too involved once again

    He said before the fight in Texas he had made weight really easily and it was easier over there in the heat or some similar non sense. Then afterwards he said he struggled. I don't think he knows himself. I wonder if it hinders him with Shane being strength and conditioning, nutritionist and trainer all in one. These are specialist jobs and there's only so much knowledge that a 27 year old Shane will have, there's a lot resting on his shoulders.

    Frampton looks like a younger President Putin.

    Worries me when people start talking about fighters being "soft and dry".

    Do you want to see them "hard and wet"?

    Now you're grasping at straws. Carl looks fine. About now its starting to dawn on Quigg that he is in over his head. All Hearns BS cant save Scott now. Eddie is cashing out on him.

    Funny you should say that but I didn't think Quigg's skin looked healthy and the dark circles round his eyes didn't look healthy either.
